The Game Boy Pocket did have an actual black-and-white display though. The sprites themselves aren't necessarily black-and-white, or green, they're just varying shades of luminance (their pixel values are stored as numbers between 0-3). What colours you saw depended on what kind of screen that luminance is displayed on.
Ah, I did not know that! Like I said, I'm new to all this. But that's good to know.
